KUANTAN, May 30 — Police arrested a man for causing a public disturbance in the Centrum area of Brinchang, Cameron Highlands, on Wednesday. Cameron Highlands police chief Deputy Superintendent Azri Ramli said they received a call regarding the incident around 11 pm on May 28.

A background check revealed that the man had been reported missing in Bera since May 22, and preliminary investigations suggest that he is believed to be suffering from mental illness.

Medicaid cuts not the way to improve system: Rep. Bera
(NewsNation) — Despite President Donald Trump's demand to GOP lawmakers not to cut Medicaid when passing his 'big, beautiful bill,' a new Congressional Budget Office analysis paints a different picture. The CBO shows that the bill now proposes about $716 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next 10 years, making it the largest cuts in the program's history and would lead to some 7.6 million people being left without health insurance. Judge scolds DOJ in dismissing ICE facility trespassing charge against Newark mayor California Rep. Ami Bera, a Democrat, joined 'NewsNation Now' on Wednesday to talk about the bill. He said the numbers coming from the CBO concerned him because of the number of people who would lose coverage. Some holdouts from the Republican Party have said there are not enough cuts being made to the program, which has been preventing the bill from being passed. Bera said he would be more than willing to work with his Republican colleagues to find solutions and improve Medicaid's efficiency, but large cuts are not the way to go. 'There's a lot we could do there to get better, affordable health care,' Bera said. 'This is not the way to go about doing it. It should be done in a bipartisan way.'
